If that would work, sure. If you have the time to write it. Otherwise a simple script that just makes all the images given a couple of directories ($jigdoDir, $imageDir and $archiveDir are the ones I can think of right now) would do fine. This should be trivial, but I haven't figured out how the arguments to jigdo-port works yet. (Yes, jigdo-port is the only one that compiles on AIX for us. C++ isn't exactly portable. :/) I'm currently updating the cd-image mirror by hand anyway. The important part is that the result looks exactly like the one on the master site so I can do an inexpensive rsync to get "everything" right. Hmm.. That brings another problem, the filesystem metadata has to look exactly right for that to work, otherwise rsync will assume that it has change and make the server calculate checksums. That could be solved with --size-only to rsync though, we just have to remember it. > > For extra fun ftp.se.debian.org == ftp.gnome.org and the gnome > > desktop 2.0 release is currently scheduled for May 1st. :) > > LOL, hopefully your server won't go up in smoke... We are working on finding a temporary home for it on borrowed hardware. That is also why I'm pointing out rsync-debcd.acc.umu.se now, the main ftp server might be very busy even with much bigger hardware than we currently have. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
